For example, they find out that the spookfish likes to hide in dark corners and is rarely seen during the day. They also observe the spookfish hunting, using its bioluminescence to lure in small fish before swallowing them whole.
Despite being initially scared of the spookfish, the Octonauts soon come to appreciate its unique beauty and fascinating behavior. They work to understand the spookfish and its role in the ecosystem, and even develop a plan to help protect it from harm.
